Amazon shoppers rush to buy ‘powerful' bestselling fan reduced from £32 to £20 for this week's heatwave

A heatwave has hit us this week, and temperatures are soaring to 30 degrees by the weekend.
An overheated home can be uncomfortable, and with most UK homes lacking air con, it's no surprise that shoppers are searching for other solutions.
The Honeywell TurboForce Power Fan is being snapped up by those looking to stay cool all summer without spending too much.
I haven't tried it myself but over 25,000 Amazon shoppers have left reviews and 5,000 have bought it in the past month alone.
There are three speeds so you can adjust the airflow, and the description says the cool breeze can be felt as far as 7 metres away which is particularly handy if you're using it while you sleep.
The head also rotates by 90 degrees, which helps circulate the cool air around different areas of the room.
The fan is compact, measuring 27.7 x 15.9 x 27.7cm, and weighs just 1.3kg, so it can easily be picked up and moved around the house.
Some shoppers even reported buying it for holidays, vouching for its efficiency as an alternative to air conditioning.
One Amazon fan wrote: ''We sometimes go away on three day "deals" in the car and somehow hotel rooms are often stuffy'', explaining that many ''don't have air conditioning.''
''This fan proved ideal'', they commented, while also adding: ''it's small enough to be transportable but very effective when on.''
Another shopper praised their cooling purchase, commenting: ''I have mounted this fan above my bed as its wall mountable and wow, it's amazing!''
The five-star review went onto describe the fan as ''quiet enough and has three speed settings'', saying the ''airflow is good and it's very sturdy.''
As with most Amazon deals, it's unclear how long the saving will last, but if you're quick, you could have your new fan in time for the hot weather this weekend.
Or, add a Mediterranean feel to your foliage, with a pair of patio palms reduced from £39.99 to £19.99.

BCC Mining's mobile app: Democratizing 'crypto' mining in 2025
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... In May 2025, BCC Mining, a U.K.-based cryptocurrency platform, launched a mobile app that has sparked significant interest in the digital currency community by offering 'free cloud mining' for BTC, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. Unveiled on May 26, 2025, the app aims to make digital currency mining accessible to everyday users, eliminating the need for expensive hardware or technical expertise. As BTC's price surges past $110,000 and global interest in mining intensifies, BCC Mining's app represents a bold step toward democratizing digital asset accumulation. However, amid a landscape of illicit mining operations and profitability challenges, the app's promise of passive income raises excitement and skepticism. The BCC Mining app, available for Android and iOS, allows users to mine digital currencies directly from their smartphones, leveraging cloud-based technology to bypass the energy-intensive demands of traditional mining. Users can monitor progress, adjust settings, and track earnings in real-time, with the platform operating 24/7 to maximize profits. The app's user-friendly interface requires only an email registration and a small initial investment—sometimes as low as $100—to start earning. BCC Mining claims its AI-powered system and renewable energy sources enhance returns, with some users reportedly earning up to $18,600 daily, though such figures invite scrutiny for their feasibility. The platform's FCA registration in the U.K. adds a layer of credibility, positioning it as a legitimate option in a market rife with scams. The launch comes at a pivotal moment for digital currency mining. The 2024 Bitcoin halving reduced block rewards, squeezing miner profitability, with hashprices dropping to $55 per petahash per second, well below pre-halving levels. Rising global hash rates—up 6.7% in April 2025—have intensified competition, pushing some miners toward illicit operations, as seen in recent crackdowns in Bradford, U.K., Kuwait, and Malaysia. BCC Mining's cloud-based approach sidesteps these challenges by eliminating the need for costly ASICs or high electricity bills, making it appealing to retail investors. The app's launch aligns with a broader trend of mobile mining platforms, such as Bitcoin Solaris's Nova App and Pi Network, prioritizing accessibility and low-energy consumption. BCC Mining's appeal is amplified by its focus on retail investors diversifying from traditional brokerage platforms like Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD). A May 29, 2025, report noted a growing user base, with many drawn to the app's promise of passive income without technical barriers. For example, a user named James reportedly turned a $100 investment into $13,700 in 10 days, reinvesting to reach $100,000 in a month. Such stories fuel optimism but also raise red flags, as high returns in digital currency often signal risk. The platform offers a $15 sign-up bonus and flexible mining contracts, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees, making it attractive to beginners and seasoned investors alike. However, the digital currency mining landscape is fraught with challenges. Illegal operations, like the Bradford 'Bitcoin factory' uncovered on May 21, 2025, highlight the risks of energy theft, with stolen electricity powering illicit rigs. Globally, Kuwait's crackdowns and Malaysia's 300% rise in power theft underscore the ethical and infrastructural strains of mining. BCC Mining's use of renewable energy, such as solar panels, addresses environmental concerns, aligning with platforms like MasHash, which prioritize sustainability. Yet, a Harvard study in 2025 linked U.S. Bitcoin mines to pollution affecting millions, raising questions about the broader industry's environmental impact, even for cloud-based solutions. Regulatory developments add complexity. The U.K.'s push for compulsory digital currency regulation in April 2025 aims to curb fraud, providing a safer environment for platforms like BCC Mining. In contrast, the U.S.'s pro-crypto policies, including Texas's proposed Bitcoin reserve, encourage mining growth, though proposed 36% tariffs on Asian-made rigs threaten profitability. BCC Mining's FCA approval gives it an edge in a market where trust is paramount, especially after scams like Russia's $3.2 million mining fraud exposed vulnerabilities. The app's launch taps into a bullish market, with BTC ETF inflows outpacing mined coins (26,700 BTC bought vs. 7,200 mined in May). However, profitability concerns persist. A PCWorld report estimated that mining one BTC in the U.S. costs $137,000, far exceeding its $95,000 market value, making cloud mining apps like BCC's more appealing. Still, critics warn that 'free' mining platforms may overpromise returns or rely on unsustainable models, urging users to approach cautiously. BCC Mining's mobile app represents a significant step toward making digital currency mining inclusive, leveraging technology to lower barriers in a high-stakes industry. Its focus on accessibility, sustainability, and regulatory compliance positions it as a leader in the cloud mining space. Yet, as illegal mining surges and profitability challenges loom, users must weigh the app's potential against the risks of a volatile market. For now, BCC Mining's launch signals a new era of mobile-driven crypto participation, but its long-term success will depend on delivering consistent, transparent returns in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Work to get US steel tariffs removed to go on in coming ‘days, weeks and months'
US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer signed off a US-UK deal that will slash trade barriers on goods from both countries at the G7 on Monday. But US tariffs for the steel industry will stand at 25% for now rather than falling to zero as originally agreed. This is less than the US global rate of 50% for steel and aluminium. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said the UK Government is keen for the site to be part of a commercially-operated business (Chris Radburn/PA) The two leaders pledged to 'make progress towards 0% tariffs on core steel products as agreed', the Department for Business and Trade said. The Chinese ownership of the British Steel could be a sticking point in the deal on steel as the executive order signed by Mr Trump suggests the US wants assurances that the metal originates in the UK. 'The United Kingdom also committed to working to meet American requirements on the security of the supply chains of steel and aluminium products intended for export to the United States and on the nature of ownership of relevant production facilities,' the order states. After signing it, the US President was asked whether steel tariffs would be eliminated, to which he replied: 'We're gonna let you have that information in a little while.' In April, the UK Government used emergency powers to take control of British Steel and continue production at the site after Chinese owners Jingye proposed shutting the Scunthorpe site's two blast furnaces and other key steelmaking operations. But its future is still uncertain, with Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander saying the Government is eager for it to be 'part of a commercially-operated business with private investment'. 'We're talking to a number of third parties about that. At the moment, no options are off the table,' she told Sky News. She said there was still 'more work to do' to get steel tariffs eliminated, including on 'technical detail'. 'We're working through some technical detail around steel because we want to bring that 25% tariff that applies at the moment obviously down further,' she told BBC Breakfast. She said the UK is 'working on getting that implemented'. 'And we're determined to go further and we'll be working on those issues around steel in the coming days, weeks and months,' she added. Alasdair McDiarmid, assistant general secretary of the Community union, said it was 'absolutely vital' to secure a deal on steel as quickly as possible. Mr Trump did not say when the tariffs would be eliminated (Suzanne Plunkett/PA) 'Our steel producers and their US customers need an end to the current state of uncertainty to allow normal business to resume. 'Crucially, we must see a full exemption for all UK steel exports to the US – without that guarantee some of our leading steel businesses could be left behind, with a threat to jobs and livelihoods.' It comes as a £500 million five-year deal has been struck between Network Rail and British Steel, which Ms Alexander said was a 'vote of confidence'. Workers at the British Steel site in Scunthorpe will make rail tracks (Danny Lawson/PA) British Steel is to supply 337,000 tonnes of rail track, with a further 80-90,000 tonnes to be provided by other European manufacturers. The Network Rail contract will start on July 1 and is set to provide the company with 80% of its rail needs. Jingye, which bought British Steel in 2020, launched a consultation in March which it said would affect between 2,000 and 2,700 jobs, despite months of negotiations and a £500 million co-investment offer from the Government. The Scunthorpe plant has been producing steel for Britain's railways since 1865. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander is finalising the deal (Joe Giddens/PA) The Network Rail agreement is the first major public procurement since the Government's emergency legislation was passed. Network Rail's group director for railway business services Clive Berrington said: 'We are committed to buying British where it makes economic sense to do so and British Steel remain extremely competitive in the provision of rail and will remain our main supplier in the years ahead.' Craig Harvey, British Steel's commercial director for rail, added: 'The contract represents a huge vote of confidence in UK workers and British industry, underpinning the vital role we play in ensuring millions of passengers and freight operators enjoy safe, enjoyable and timely journeys on Britain's railways.' Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, national officer at the GMB union, said it was a 'crucial first step in securing the future of our steel industry' and urged ministers to make sure British Steel has a 'constant flow of orders' from other infrastructure projects.

Work to get US steel tariffs removed to go on in coming ‘days, weeks and months'
Work to get US tariffs on UK steel removed will go on in the coming 'days, weeks and months', the Transport Secretary has said, after a deal was finalised that left the future of those levies up in the air.
